In the realm of client communications, we often encounter peculiar and, at times, downright baffling methods of document submission. As someone who has experienced the vast array of professional interactions, I find it fascinating how creativity sometimes leads to confusion. Today, I’d love to hear your most amusing or frustrating experiences with clients when it comes to receiving documents.
